The garden: At OurCancer ...A touching post, Diane.<br /><br />The garden: At OurCancer we created a place within the site we call Leroy's Garden and it meets all those words you use here to describe "garden".Maureenhttp://writingwithoutpaper.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5291485436649858330.post-72993998939022583672010-03-09T08:58:15.766-08:002010-03-09T08:58:15.766-08:00Diane, I so relate to this post. Thank you -- I lo...Diane, I so relate to this post. Thank you -- I love this line from Rohr: "The universe is radical grace."<br /><br />My yougnest daughter left in January for 8 months abroad. Five at University in the Netherlands, and three travelling. She left behind, "Blankie", her childhood to adult compatriot who was always there with her, at sleep overs, under her pillow, everywhere she slept, Blankie slept with her.<br /><br />It was a tough call. Do I leave him? she asked. She was torn. She washed him before she left. A not too frequent event as Blankie tended to unravel at the slightest provocation.<br /><br />Finally, she left him behind.<br /><br />On our first Skype call I asked -- what's that furry thing behind your head? She promptly replied. I miss Blankie -- I bought myself a Pandabear neck pillow.<br /><br />Home. That place where we feel safe no matter the storms around us -- as long as HOme is and always was a place of comfort.<br /><br />Like the garden. Always there no matter what roads we travel.<br /><br />Beautiful post -- thank you. And the photo is stunning.<br /><br />LouiseLouise Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522775693728655487noreply@blogger.com
